hi, This reminds me that Wolfram did a backup copies of press artiles and stored them somethere in case if owner's site was down or article gone. But this is almost two years old memories. And I not sure did he told about idea or he actually did it. Wolfram, any comments ? Anyway, it could be good to resurrect or implement this idea into life now.
